OK, a non Tragic's impression.
First let me say I've never been impressed with Apple's OS, too many things buried that you eventually discover with use, sorry guys, the intuitive descriptive simply doesn't wash with me.
I picked up an iPhone the other day, my initial impression is that it's very easy to use, quite intuitive, if a little inconsistent (operationally) at times.
I don't like the use of mechanical keys for home and sleep, those keys will wear out quickly I expect and I shudder to think of battery replacement.
The iTunes app I could do without, not intuitive at all for me, but I'll have to get used to it.
Browsing works nicely, much better than I expected once I got the hang of zooming, it's a bit like being in Ned Kelly's helmet, peering through a slot with zoom binoculars, but it works.
Setting up a pop email account was easy as was connection to Wi-Fi.
Tonight I uploaded some mp3's, easy enough when I "discovered" how (I hate reading manuals or doing tutorials).
I'm mildly annoyed that I can't get an iTunes account without divulging my credit card details (correct me if I'm mistaken).
The Airplane mode will be great when I fly, I'm curious as to whether I can rip some of my legit DVD movies for viewing inflight.
Overall I like my new toy and can't wait to get some apps in to it (once I work out how).
